One hdmi input on TV with multiple hdmi sources: Does anyone know how I could connect a dvd player with an hdmi output and a cable box with an hdmi output into one hdmi input on a television?

This is a common situation and by now you've solved it but seeing that your post is dated 9/15/08, I'll give you the solution for the benefit of others who may need it. HDMI switchers (commonly 4 input, 1 out) are available for less than $50 and some of them are auto-sensing/manual units and others even have remote controls. it's a matter of preference. They all do the same job which is to allow more than one device to be connected to a display with only one HDMI input. Don't get suckered into paying too much for one because, just like cables (especially 'printer' cables), it's not necessary to spend a small fortune for them. There are poor quality as well as great quality ones out there and if you buy from a reputable dealer you'll be able to return it if doesn't work properly.

Yes and no. There is one HDMI input, but two spots for them. Meaning that it is one to accept the HDMI signal, and one is to accept a composite or other connections. You get a multi plug HDMI to other connections adapter with it. Hope this helps.

Dear friend, thank you for your message. It's sorry to tell you that you can not get the video signal by HDMI and the audio signal by RCA at the same time. You can only get both video signal and audio signal by only one output at the same time, HDMI or RCA. More details please look at the listing. Wihs you a nice day! Yours sincerely,Keedox Customer ServiceMaria

It will only pass through one HDMI source. You must program what source you want to pass through i.e. Cable box. It does tell you how to do this in the manual, but please google "BatPig's Denon to English dictionary". His help was invaluable to me in setting up my Denon.

I do not think this is what you are looking for. It won't help with input to the AV receiver. As for the AV output, this would split that signal into two identical signals, and I'm guessing you don't want to put the same signal into both 1 and 2 hdmi inputs on the TV.

Yes you can, you just have to assign which source will come out from each hdmi output

That's how I have mine hooked up. They give you a DVI to HDMI adapter to output to a HD, HDMI-capable projector. It works great! Additionally, you can hook your DVD player to the unit and the signal will pass through to the projector with HD.

This is one way. It has 3 inputs (for your HDMI devices) and one output (goes to your TV, A/V Receiver, etc). They can't do what you stated.

This splitter can not do what you're attempting; this splitter is in the opposite direction. It will take one input and split it into two outputs. What you need is an HDMI switcher box (i.e. multiple inputs to one output). Hope this helps.

It's quite possible. Problem with using multiple video signals is the card will only broadcast in one resolution. You'll have to adjust the video to the receiving box that has the lowest resolution typically. I've used analog and DVI at the same time but not sure why an HDMI connector wouldn't carry a signal out to a third device at the same time.

I ran my HDMI cable directly from my dvd to my TV. You have to run a seperate sound cable anyway, so why add another switch and cable to it. Works just fine and no loss of pic quality.

With this guy, you must switch inputs on TV, receiver doesn't convert component to HDMI signal. From receiver you will have 2 sets of wires to TV: HDMI for HDDVD

Personally I would go with an DVI to HDMI cord. And use the two DVI ports. Or two DVI to HDMI adapters. The only way to do what you are talking about is a HDMI Splitter box even then I do not think it would work for what you want, HTH Mark

Well for me the input came in useful as I have 3 devices HDMI compatible and only 2 HDMI inputs on my set. I have my DVR cable box connected to the Samsung receiver via HDMI and the Samsung receiver going to the TV via HDMI. Then I have my PS3 using the other HDMI. And that's what it is all about really. Without the input on the back, I wouldn't have enough inputs to connect everything HDMI.

Yeah you can use both cable in conjunction with each other, but why? The reason for having an HDMI cable is to get get the best picture possible. I would recommend getting some more HDMI cables for your other components, that way you ensure your getting the best quality. If your DVD player doesn't have HDMI inputs, than you have no choice. The rank in video cables from worst to best is as follows: RCA, S-Video, then HDMI.

I hooked mine up using hdmi from Blu-ray dvd player to hdmi input on tv. If you have a standard dvd player without hdmi output use the composite out of the dvd player to composite in on tv.

Would imagine you can. Hope I am interpreting you question correctly. I understand from your question that you would hook two of these in series. That would I think allow you to use five pieces of equipment that have an hdmi output so one of them could be selected to go to your tv. Do not see why this would not work. Hope this is what you were looking for as an answer to your question.
